And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been

called according to his purpose from on stage 28. This scripture brings comfort, direction,

and help to Christians every day. Sadly, it's also one of the most misquoted and misunderstood

verses in the Bible. I'd like to share three things about this popular verse you may have never

noticed. First, Romans 8.28 doesn't mean we can live in any way we choose and God will fix our

messes. To understand the truth of Romans 8.28, we can't just quote the part of the verse we like.

And we know that in all things God works for the good and skip the rest of those who love him

who have been called according to his purpose. This verse says to those who love God and are doing

their best to obey his commands, even though bad, slash sad, slash evil, slash wicked things will

touch your life. I, God, will use them to ultimately bring about good both in your life and in the world.

Second, Romans 8.28 tells us God can use all things together for good. He doesn't say all things

are good. No matter how rose colored our glasses are, there's nothing good about cancer,

sex trafficking, or death. Until Jesus returns and conquers Satan once and for all,

sin will continue to drag its poisonous tentacles across our world, damaging and destroying everything

in its wake. The truth that Romans 8.28 reminds us that although sin and Satan are powerful, God is

more powerful. He is able to redeem and restore anything for our good and his glory. All things may

not be good, but God can and will use all things for good. The final thing you may have never noticed
